    It was a bit pricey for what you get, the rooms were not well maintained but staff said they are renovating. It was also bad timing as the beach was dirty with overwhelming amount of seaweed on the shore, ( its the season so not property's fault ) so we did not get to enjoy lounging or swimming at all! It also gets very dak at night, should have more lighting around the property!

    Kind and friendly staff, resto food was delicious and worth the price ( really generous servings) Gym with modern equipment ( but should have AC)

    We stayed in a Deluxe quadruple room (family room) but we only get 1 toilet paper everyday 🥲 was really not enough, at least put 2 or 3 considering they’re very thin. That was the only downside for me.

    Location wasn’t so far from the port. Breakfast was good.

    Our accommodation room, we thought that it was on the ground floor but instead we are billeted on the second floor, not considering that the two of us are Person with Disability (PWD) and it's hard for us to go up and down the stairs.

    When we book good for 4 pax , we thought that it was with free breakfast, but to our dismay when we arrived at Jelly's the front desk told us that our booking is with no breakfast.

    What I don't like in not on the venue but the tide. We were not able to swim there because at morning and in the late afternoon, it is always low tide. Of course, it is not under their control. We just picked a wrong timing. But we enjoyed our stay. But we spent most of our time outside to roam around the island.

    The venue is good and vibrant. A good place to relax especially at night.

    Noisy, you must count that all around neighbourhood is roosters who makes terrible noise in morning. Different stinky aromas time after time have been observed, no idea from where they came. In shower was water leakage from water heaters hose. Didn’t complain because was not so important, but someone can find it a problem. Breakfast was very basic for this price category hotel.

    Location next to the nice blue water beach. Helpful and professional staff. Nicely designed territory.

    The only thing that disappointed me, was that I parked my car underneath tree shade. And the next morning bird's shit was all over my car. Nobody or Staff inform me, as they're more familiar with the place than I was

    It's beyond expectations. Nice and wide white sand beach

    The distance from the port and the market is so far and we are so exhausted when we are in the resort.

    The room is exeptional and it is near from the beach.

    We are not entirely a fan of the complementary breakfast because we have very limited choices -- only three types of meal. I would appreciate it if there's more options for breakfast just so we can have more variety in the meals that we're eating. There are many other breakfast options on the menu but they are all subject to payment. I hope there's a way we can just use up the value of the complementary breakfast and off-set it against breakfast options that require payment. We also find it inconvenient that there are only certain areas where WiFi is available. WiFi is also not as reliable even if you're in the WiFi zone. Although, I really wouldn't take this against the resort as it is a really good excuse to disconnect from everything and enjoy the resort experience :) We also wish all rooms have bidets -- ours doesn't have one but our friend's room does. Rooms could also use a small refrigerator so guests can keep their water or juices nice and cool. I hope they continue to keep in front of the resort clean as well given that I've spotted some plastic wrappings despite the prohibition on eating near the beach. I understand that it is every guest's responsibility to pick up after their trash but for those who cannot be responsible, I hope the resort would cover for them.

    We stayed at Jelly's for 8 nights and we are truly happy with this place. Our aim is to get away from our busy lives for a moment and we achieved this indeed. The resort's location is perfect because it is both near tourist spots that are fun to explore and near town for a variety of good meals at an affordable price. The resort has their own restaurant as well which does not disappoint. I actually don't expect good meals from the island but the resort proved me wrong. We love every meal that we bought and they are also reasonably priced. One of my travel companions is very picky with food so we truly appreciate that the restaurant was able to accommodate our food requests for our friend. The bartender also makes really good drinks and I'm happy my companions find the drinks to be of excellent quality. The staff are very friendly and easy to approach which made our stay more comfortable and convenient. I am also very satisfied with the resort's free shuttle. I honestly expect it to be just a local tricycle or multicab so I could not believe that a huge van was waiting for us at the port to take us to the resort. We also truly appreciated that the driver went to the resort at 4:30AM on the day of our departure to take us to the port to catch our 5AM ferry. This type of service is incredibly remarkable. I also want to point out how trustworthy the staff are. We are not afraid or worried about our stuff missing after getting our room tidied up. The staff also cleans the room well and we love getting our room cleaned often because of how fresh and clean it feels. I also like to point out that the resort not only has a restaurant, they also have a boutique where they sell goggles, sunscreens and other beach wears, and they have a mini convenience store where they sell drinks and snacks. This place truly provides everything that you need.

    The room has a peculiar smell that i had to go to reception and ask for an air freshener so we can remove the smell, it helped but i believe we just go use to the smell. It was quite far from other restaurants but the resort has its own.

    The property has a beach front. It is very colorful and staff are awesome. It also had a free shuttle. There was also a live band.

    WIFI! Wifi was scarce and what made the matter worst is the Mobile data doesn't reach the rooms either. So, no wifi and mobile data inside the rooms. The management says they are working on it.
